\section*{Conclusion}
Designing cognitive radios can often be a long and involved process. By modularizing the different pieces of the cognitive radio, developers can work on one essential part at a time without worrying about the integration with the other elements of the framework. We hope to facilitate the creation of cognitive radios by providing support for XML intermediary files in CROSS. By complying with the SDRPHY XML standard, we allow interoperability with cognitive engines and SDR waveforms being developed by researchers across the United States.
